Lol I trolled since there was a debate on DxD vs Hagure while people don't know the plot. We need to give them information to make it more interesting.

Though I think people living in the western-country and those who loves RPG would prefer Hagure over DxD I think.

EDIT: Just added the spoiler tag so the mods wont kill me for it.

Hm, well that spoiler did just give away a crucial piece of V4 and V5 (though you luckily didn't give away the rest). I happen to think that V4 and V5, which wraps up and explores the story in the alternative world, are the best in the whole series thus far.

Spoiler for spoiler:

Leon's not-so-hero-like actions is a crucial fact known only to a very, very select few. Not even the princess knows. Part of the irony in the whole situation is that Leon is thought to exemplify what a "hero" is, while our MC is often called a "Maverick Hero" for his actions.

You should probably correctly title the spoiler tag. I wasn't expecting that when I opened it.

Lol. Alright changed it. How does it feel after reading it?

True. Volume 4 and 5 definitely was the best.

Spoiler for volume 4 and 5:

Yeah, it's a shame that the plot only focuses on two world when it was said there are like dozen more of them.
Akatsuki turning into a Maou was indeed the best twist. Though it was in name only, I like how the author pulled that out.
Leon. Has last fight with Akatsuki was really bad. The battle ended by Leon mistakenly killing the evil King guy which led to his curse turning off.....
Though the Restia X Akatsuki was really sweet. I actually rooted for Restia over Mew, but looks like Akatsuki doesnt have to choose only one of them so that's good......

But how do we actually seperate the volumes to story arcs?
I always think of it is the following:
-Story Arc 1: Volume 1
-Story Arc 2A: Volume 2-3
-Story Arc 2B: Volume 4-5
-Story Arc 3: Volume 6-9

Not really. Are there good harem MC's who fight and stand up for their loved ones? Sure. But very few actually sacrifice that much for the heroine. That or the MC is already too powerful to begin with, so the reader can't see how the MC would react in a desperate situation. Having looked over my light novel library, I would probably only say that there is one only other MC that has guts on par with Issei and several that are respectable.

I'm not really sure. Part of the reason why DxD attracted a wave of people was because of it's unique ways of powering up. There has not been a single series I've read since or before that is the same. You may argue that the progression of the greater story is relatively normal; however, the specific plot progression and crucial events in each volume is truly unique. Dress Breaker, Bilingual, Tits God, Powering Up by Poking, Powering Up because of Extreme Lusts, Random Summons, Ruining the reputation of the Red Dragon Emperor. All of those (or similar events)... are not things you find in any other series.

Well, if you want a badass MC, you're in the right place. However, if you're talking "generic" plot, Hagure would be more of the same. More so than DxD, it follows the formula with a rough ending in sight. The reason I happen to really like Hagure is because it executes the formula better than a lot of other series.

first lets stop with DxD comparison but really if its only MC then I'll give you one in the popular series. In index with their 3 hero story. Hamazura and he is even a normal person. Unlike Issei who is not really normal because he is special. He is the crimson emperor. But Hamazura is a normal thug that fell in love with an agent of the dark side of the academy. I won't spoil much of it but fans love him for being normal thrown into abnormal world and he would even challenge the darkness of the city itself or Accelerator for the manner and all limbs crumble apart but he will protect Takitsubo Rikou.

Aside from him. You can see in manga or vn games or other materials that in terms of love. Any one can go against the world. Which is normal Though you could even see in some light novel that even the MC just met the girl he already fell in love and even will sacrifice himself for her. Which is funny for me but sometimes. I just love that romantic scenes and that is also normal too

Now the part where DXD SHINES THE MOST!!!! IS ISSEI unique way to power up. AND I WON'T ARGUE WITH YOU THAT I LOVE IT AND I ALSO WANT TO POKE BUCHOU'S NIP..... gets blast away.

seriously speaking. Its funny and unique and really funny again and did I say unique that I can't see it in other novels the way DxD did it. But not really unique because before DxD employs it. I already see it in Sadou Tarou from MM. The HENTAI POWA!!!! and also I fell sorry and condolence for the author of MM.

Okay enough with that and back to Hagure. I haven't read the spoiler provided by nom@n yet. Will read it after I reply to this. I like badass MC but sometimes I wish they employ a more grandeur schemes. or Plot which involves more mystery and darkness in it. I like Kagami, Kawakami, Kanzaka, Kamachi, Nasu, Nishio and Urobochi (I only named the famous people that would certainly be heard of)

Well they planned their work and they are good at it. (I notice lots of K in my authors list) I will just see Hagure as Ichinan Ushiro Dai maou then. I also like that series. And probably be the same as this? strong MC and all.

Ah, I'm actually not a fan on Issei training because I favor more people who are normal that worked hard to become strong. And Issei for all his hard work is special because he is a dragon. I favor those who trained hard for a long time and gets strong because they earned it. A popular example is Kenichi from history's strongest disciple and maybe from the oldies which is Himura Kenchin and Zenkichi from Medaka Box. He is normal but the girl he likes is so abnormal that no matter how hard he trained. She is still too far for him but he never stops. He is still chasing on her.

Another example for an MC that would go that far for the heroine would probably Shirou though he got the avalon so his special too but he take the beating in all routes to prove himself that he is a man. Another example is Yuuji Sakai that fights the whole world for his love. His normal that grew stronger that fast even if the anime skips his hard training from the trinity and his research in the library. He is still special because he is the host of Snake of the Festival and the mystes of Reiji Maigo.

i hope you typed it wrong that part, coz if not i can't think anything other than Dj BL of popular series

accepting anyone anwer, what is Akatsuki power that made him win over maou solo? and what Leon curse is?is it related to demon extermination?

well... at least he isn't a near anti-hero even though he has the impression of one.

i like anti-hero better than the normal kind, the normal kind is just too predictable while the anti-hero are seriously hardcore.
EX:Lelouch from code geass,Light from death note,Hei from darker than black

I think your wrong on already assuming it will be translated. Its the question of if their will be a translator that will be translating this one. Not when but who will translate.

Akatsuki Ousawa

if those three meet each other and form an "HENTAI TRINITY", that day will be mark of woman hell!!!

Okay let me correct myself.

Rakan might be collecting them
Issei might be drooling over them
Akatsuki is taking them off from the girls and throwing it away and taking the girl without underwear with him in a sack and taking her home

Spoiler for Open only if you want to be spoiled......Dont blame me if you get spoiled too much for it:

Ousawa Akatsuki is the protagonist of the series. In the World he was sent to, he actually stayed there for 5 years over there(Though when he comes back to his actual World no time passed).

He was sent to the other World called Alesaide.
Miraculously he was dropped down in the bathtub of Sylpheed Kingdom. The princess of the Sylpheed Kingdom, Resti El Da Sylpheed, and she was taking a bath and Akatsuki ended up falling down on her. Because of this meeting, the two characters had a love-hate relationship.

After a while Akatsuki started hanging out and get trained by the Yuusha of the Kingdom, Leon. Leon is Resti's lover and fiance and was born from a ordinary house. But his father and sister was killed by Mazoku, hence he wanted to become strong and kill Mazoku. Akatsuki asked Leon to teach him how to fight and wanted to know why he is so strong. One day Akatsuki followed Leon to see the secret behind Leon's strength. When Akatsuki saw Leon using a teleport to go to a different place, Akatsuki followed him. But what Akatsuki saw was a 'massacre'. Leon was killing all the Mazoku who were defenseless. He even killed woman and children Mazoku. Akatsuki tried to stop Leon but instead was hit by Leon and became unconscious. When he woke up, Leon smiled at Akatsuki as if nothing was wrong. So when they returned to the Kingdom, Akatsuki informed his other allies/friends, Zechs and Luti. They all tried to convince Leon, but Leon still continued to kill innocent Mazoku.

To stop Leon, the Maou(King of Mazoku) decided to attack Sylpheed and kill off Leon. The Sylpheed was attacked and was in chaos and even the Royal family was killed excluding Resti. It is told that Maou killed them but in fact Leon hired assassins to kill them because the King wasn't that eager to continue fighting against the Mazoku. He even tried to kill Resti but Resti managed to survive because she was worried about Akatsuki, the man she is in love with.
The Maou finally confronted Leon. But Leon took a Mazoku child as a hostage. The child was Maou's daughter, Mew(Heroine). Akatsuki came to the scene as well. Akatsuki thought that there is only one way to fix this and that was to kill Leon. So Akatsuki killed Leon. The Maou thanked him, but Akatsuki promised that one day he will kill the Maou because right now he is too weak. After Maou left, Resti came and saw Akatsuki and Leon's corpse. Resti was devastiated by the scene and told that she wished if Akatsuki never came to their World. Resti said that because she didn't want Akatsuki to die. Akatsuki then left the country of Sylpheed. It was told to the World that Maou killed Leon. The only one who knows that it was actually Akatsuki killed Leon is Zechs, Rute and Maou. But because Akatsuki left the Kingdom when the Kingdom fell, he was hated by the people living in the Kingdom.

Akatsuki then went to a place (forgot the name) and became insanely strong. He returned to the Kingdom after few years so they can defeat Maou. He teamed up with Leon's old companions, Zechs, Lute and Resti. Eventually Akatsuki was called a Yuusha. But because he abandoned the Kingdom before and people still loves Leon(Only Akatsuki, Zechs, and Lute knows the truth), they gave him a bad name Hagure Yuusha, which translates to the Strayed Hero. Anyway in the final battle, Akatsuki decided to fight the Maou alone. He had a one on one battle with the Maou and won. Before dying, the Maou trusted his daughter Mew to Akatsuki's hand.

Akatsuki has a motive that he must accomplish in the world he originally came from, so he decided to take Mew with him. But since she is Maou's daughter, he had to hide her. Also there is a gate which connects the two World and only those who came from Akatsuki's world can use it. Also there is a 5 year limit for staying in this World and Akatsuki has almost reached that limit. So he decided to go back and used a 'special' ability so he can take Mew with him. Then the story move onto the volume 1 of LN.

This... Need more of this kinda protagonist, like you im sick and tired of the typical Justice, Honor, Nakama, save everyone main lead...

You all realize that real life isn't like that at all, right? It's not even realistic for someone to get beaten up by laser blast or cannon to be in whole piece instead of leaving their body unrecognizable.

I can't understand why Ise even survive from those ordeals in the first place.

When we have series like Darker Than Black, as unrealistic as it is, people are usually killed instantly no matter how badass or tough they are if they messed up.

Hell, look at how Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei works!

Plz, don't praise shounen heroes like the kind of Ise too much. He wouldn't be able to beat his opponent if his opponents killed him instantly. Determination will never works against someone who intends to kill you, and in sports, they can't actually hurt you too much until you death since that'd make them murderers.

Humanity is a copy of ape, simply a bit smarter and more civilized than them.

There is simply no originals anymore these days. DxD takes a lot of elements from classic sereis like Dragonball, Saint Seiya, Bible, Hinduism, Norse sagas, typical harem series etc. but I'd snap if someone says it's unoriginal or a rip-off of something since I seriously can't find anything original anymore.

the funny thing is a lot of us so serious and often doing almost everything including dirty way
to force their opinion in the forum or other eventough it was completely useless or no benefit.
im not supporting kleeyook but lowering guard or not serious is not professional action
